India seal berth in final
The Sri Lankans found three Percy Abeysekaras among the sea of supporters for the host nation. The spirit of the flag-waving trokia, in the face of sustained disappointment, was touching. But Arjuna Ranatunga’s men were mentally beaten very early in the day. In an extended slog phase, skipper Ajay Jadeja and Amay Khurasia toyed with the emaciated Lankan attack. India plundered 104 runs in the last 11 overs.

Sidhu’s ton
Navjot Sidhu’s timely century (124) and his 94-run fourth-wicket stand with Dinesh Mongia rescued Punjab on the opening day of the five-day Ranji Trophy quarterfinal tie against Tamil Nadu today. Punjab finished the day at 251 for eight.
